Description

Hey guys! At turn of the 2018 new year, I discovered the enormous potential of technical writing. I became engrossed because it perfectly combines my love of language and user interaction with more technical implications. I am in the process of going back to school for a Bachelors because I finally found something to go back to school for! Otherwise, I have no knowledge of coding, editing HTML or probably any of the associated tools and software, but I am determined to hit the ground running. I look forward to contributing on projects here in Floss Manuals and if you have any advice for me as a total noob, feel free to hit me up @aplusburger because I would love to hear from you!

@aplusburger Thank you, Allison, that would be awesome. We already have a couple of dedicated 'issues' on gitlab for proofreading (the list might not be complete, but you can create issues if needed) Here it is: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues. You can use them to put your feedback in, if it's something that seems to need discussion (maybe because you don't know the functionality well), or you can edit directly in the book and let us know on the issue when a chapter is done. Also, when you have made any edits, don't forget to add yourself to the authors list ;-)

@Moini Just checked out the link you shared and since I'm a native English speaker I will concentrate my efforts on #3 listed in the README doc. I will also introduce myself and update my profile on Floss Manuals to better describe my skill set. Thank you so much for your help and I can't wait to get started. Allison

@aplusburger Hi there, yes, we need some help in very different areas. Can you tell us a bit about your background - e.g. do you know how to edit html, or are you a native speaker of English, or are you an expert user or a new user of Inkscape etc.? Our editing guidelines and organizational things are described in this document at gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/blob/master/README.md . Please introduce yourself on the Inkscape docs mailing list, if you want to help with editing the book. If you want to provide feedback only, it's sufficient to contact us via 'issues' on gitlab. Thanks! See you there! Maren
